Missouri Medical Marijuana Qualifying Conditions

To qualify for a medical marijuana patient ID card in Missouri, a patient must have a qualifying medical condition certified by a Missouri-licensed physician or nurse practitioner who is licensed and in good standing.

Under Article XIV of the Missouri Constitution, qualifying medical conditions include:

  • A terminal illness
  • Cancer
  • Chronic medical conditions that cause severe, persistent pain or persistent muscle spasms, including conditions associated with multiple sclerosis, seizures, Parkinson's disease, and Tourette's syndrome
  • Debilitating psychiatric disorders, including post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), if diagnosed by a state-licensed psychiatrist
  • Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) or acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS)
  • Epilepsy
  • Glaucoma
  • Chronic medical conditions normally treated with prescription medications that could lead to physical or psychological dependence, when a physician or nurse practitioner determines that medical marijuana could be effective in treating the condition and serve as a safer alternative to the prescription medication
  • In the professional judgment of a physician or nurse practitioner, any other chronic, debilitating, or other medical condition, including hepatitis C, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), inflammatory bowel disease, Crohn's disease, Huntington's disease, autism, neuropathies, sickle cell anemia, agitation of Alzheimer's disease, cachexia, and wasting syndrome
  • Intractable migraines unresponsive to other treatment

Missouri therefore does not limit medical marijuana eligibility exclusively to a short list of named conditions. A Missouri-licensed physician or nurse practitioner may certify another chronic, debilitating, or other medical condition when, in their professional judgment, it qualifies under Missouri law.
